  1. Re:EyeToy? on Xbox 360 Gets Vision Camera This Fall · · Score: 1

    Apparently everyone copies nintendo. Gameboy camera anyone?

  2. Re:Ramen is Carcinogenic on One Small Breath For Man · · Score: 1

    That sounds kinda dangerous. Would you like to scan the packet for me and post it some where for downloading? It's probably an error, and should be corrected.

  3. Science at its best! on Space Elevator An Impossible Dream? · · Score: 1
    "For there is no comparison between that which we may lose by not trying and by not succeeding; since by not trying we throw away the chance of an immense good, by not succeeding we only incur the loss of a little human labour"

  4. Is Mario and Nintendo an American thing? on Nintendo's Mario - 26 Years of History · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    I could be wrong, but, generally speaking, I suspect the rest of the world is apathetic towards the Italian-American plumber.

    I just don't really get it. Someone care to put me straight?

  5. Re:That saves time! on Symantec AntiVirus Hole Found · · Score: 0

    seems our opinions are a little unpopular.

  6. That saves time! on Symantec AntiVirus Hole Found · · Score: 5, Funny
    Symantic will only have to make viruses for its own programs!

    (ouch, that was a little harsh)

  7. *ahem* Excuse me, Nintendo don't make mistakes on Nintendo Learns from Mistakes with GameCube · · Score: 5, Informative

    They made $4.5 billion profit last year.

  8. The kernel should go the same way! on X.Org Releases First Modular Source Roll-Up · · Score: 3, Funny

    Its like a fasionable thing to do nowdays.

  9. Re:MOD PARENT UP on Sony Hints At PS3 'Homebrew' Linux Plans · · Score: 1

    The kit was so people who wanted to could play around with ps2gl and the emotion engine, not to turn the PC into a media centre. It centred around creating a community of programmers who knew C++ and needed/wanted a cheap way to mess with a MIPS based processor. I'm sure there are a few developers out there that got their start on the ps2 linux kit.

  10. Re:MOD PARENT UP on Sony Hints At PS3 'Homebrew' Linux Plans · · Score: 1

    The ps2 linux kit locked access to the optical drive after you booted, so you couldn't use it to rip DVD's, although you could play movies off of the network or at least copy them over the network to your harddrive.

  11. MOD PARENT UP on Sony Hints At PS3 'Homebrew' Linux Plans · · Score: 1

    Its true. Although I doubt they will give access to the blu ray drive, but that won't really be such a bad thing.

  12. Hello LocoRoco! on Warhawk and The Dualshake Controller · · Score: 1
    LocoRoco is a game for the PSP where you navigate a blob by tilting the world with R1 and L1. The game would be supercool on the ps3!

  13. Re:No flavour? on The Soda Situation - Succulent Drinks w/o the Sweets? · · Score: 1
    You can cover up the aftertaste with another NNS (non-nutritative sweetener) with a longer/different sweetness profile.

    The problem isn't the level of sweetness, its the KIND of sweetness, and the sweetness profile created.

    Actually, I suspect that most diet drinks have less CO2, as NNS are much more expensive than sugar, and the sweetness maskes the acidity of the CO2. Therefore they don't have the bite that the regular versions have.

  14. Re:It runs linux ffs! on PS3 Launch Details Announced · · Score: 1
    If my money is going to someone, it may as well be Sony rather than M$ or Nintendo. Lets not underestimate the tecnology that will flow from IBM/Toshiba/Sony because of this.

    Its a far better reason than anything else. Even price.

  15. It runs linux ffs! on PS3 Launch Details Announced · · Score: 0, Troll
    I'd rather give my money to sony who have Nvidia hardware and run Linux that any other the others.

    Comeon everyone, get your priorities right! If this thing works, OpenGl and the community will rule!

  16. Fight for torrents. GS ppl post here. on Finding High Quality Videos from E3? · · Score: 1
    Its funny that this was brought up as I had just posted a message on the Gamespot forums about wanting torrents.

    I found a thread asking for them, and here is the address. If you want torrents at Gamespot, then post here!

  17. Winamp =! XMMS (off topic) on Managing a Huge Music Collection? · · Score: 1

    ...I still sometimes call XMMS Winamp. The OP is using Winamp, so hes using Windows. Therefore, the suggestions should be windows only, right?

  18. Re:You'd be doing well... on Easing Compatibility Between OpenOffice, MS Office · · Score: 1

    /considers install abiword once again.

  19. More proof for chemtrails! Its spainish flu! on Americans Are Seriously Sick · · Score: 1
  20. You'd be doing well... on Easing Compatibility Between OpenOffice, MS Office · · Score: 1
    ...if you created an open format suited for a word processer that seperated content and formatting like CSS.

  21. Sorry, but... on Ideal EULA for Custom Software? · · Score: 1

    ...nobody reads them anyway. Why don't you just copy the EULA off of a similar product? Make sure the lawyers read it first.

  22. You learn something new every day! on Most Web Users Unable to Spot Spyware · · Score: 1
    I took the test, and apparently the Kazaa download contains spyware. I haven't used windows for a few years, so I was suprised to read on the wikipedia that Kazaa is funded by spyware.

    I heard good things about it too! I better stop trusting people!

  23. Since when are geeks not consumers? on HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray - Is It All in the Name? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    As much as we geeks would like to believe it, we are not going to be the ones who decide which format wins out in the end; consumers are.

    Apparently geekdom does not have ANY say in whether a format is accepted. This statement has given me a headache. OOOOhhh, my head!

  24. Its marketing you dummies! on The 360 Is Too Cheap? · · Score: 1
    M$ a desperate to have their game console to appeal to a much wider audience. You appeal only to 'hardcore gamers' by selling it too expensive. The following is a quote from an interveiw with the VP of marketing, Peter Moore.

    Gamespot: What grade do you give Xbox, version one, in the area of marketing and advertising?

    Peter Moore: I'd say a B. One of the things that probably stopped us from being an A- is, [even though] we created a very cool and aspirational brand, we need to broaden the appeal of the brand. Not losing, or disenfranchising in any way, the gamers that got us there today--which is always a marketing challenge--but we have to grow.

    But at the same time, we need to make sure we continue to talk to the more hardcore gamer, the early adopters. That has been an important part of our success, and we fully intend to do that. At the same time, we need to provide an even more approachable feel and tonality to the brand, and we need to do things differently.

  25. Who said all games were art? on The Epic Ebert Videogame Debate · · Score: 1

    Did you?
